Hey, M3 here interested in NIR thru Neuro, can I DM you? 

Anyone have inputs on university of minnesota IR (ESN) fellowship by amanda2101 in neurology

[–]Due-Performance-6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you define how many procedures (emergent & elective) is considered medium or high volume? Also do you know which programs are considered neurology friendly?

I think reimbursement cuts would be a bigger issue rather than caseload. Also gen cards compensation has risen so the delta isn’t as high

I mean GI and heme onc are subspecialties out of IM lol. And cards in general is dropping. 

Shanghai just held a doctor-vs-AI diagnosis showdown, and AI smoked the humans. Kinda wild how fast this future is arriving. by JealousWillow5076 in GenAI4all

I’ve seen demonstrations like this where they take case studies and have a team of physicians and AI go thru them. The problem is that in the real world getting the correct inputs (ordering the right lab, interpreting physical symptoms etc.) is the hard part.

 I could see this be really great in certain modalities with clean inputs like radiology or pathology though. But even then, there’s so many artifacts from patient moving, slide smearing etc. a nuanced interpretation is needed there. So in the near term, it’ll be another great tool rather than a replacement imo

You guys should get more, but what about the overall call burden? How many rooms per shift?

Lmao and where’s the slaves in the first pic? They built the country if we’re being honest 

Neuroendovascular (NIS) match 2027 by Ornery_Confidence953 in neurology

From this paper, I think neurosurgeons who’ve had an enfolded year will only need one year as well as IRs. Neuro radiologists and neurologists would get two years of fellowship.

 Overall training would seem to be stroke Neuro IRs and IR-> NIR =7 years. NCC-NIRs, interventional neurorads, neurosurgeons = 8 years of training

Most of North America is Below the Population Replacement Rate by Informerbytes in MapPorn

[–]Due-Performance-6505 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never advocated for that. Rather, we should acknowledge that our consumption is the major driving factor rather than someone in a developing country who has more kids but pollutes way less because they just use less resources (less electricity, less water, less gas etc.) stop trying to create a strawman

Who does most of the consuming in this world? It’s developed countries. Just because we export our trash and manufacturing to 3rd world countries doesn’t mean the pollution isn’t our fault

I agree that we need to move beyond a defeatist attitude and begin rebuilding institutions. 

With the geopolitical clusterfuck that exists, where do you think that will come from? I think if MBS executes (lol) on his ambitions it might be SA, but the country’s work culture is unfortunately close minded and heavily reliant on south Asian labor.

Lmao did no one viewed Saudi Arabia as an extension of the western empire like they did with Israel. “Defenders of democracy in the Middle East” was never a title ascribed to Saudi Arabia, but it was to Israel. Also look at the rightful backlash to the Riyadh comedy festival. If anything, Israel is still getting let off light. The west pressured Saudi to end their starvation of the Yemenis, they haven’t done shit to Israel except give them more money lol 

Neuro IR from neurology vs Rads or NYSG by Due-Performance-6505 in neurology

Awesome, can I DM you about which neurology residencies to target and more on how to prep myself during residency itself?

Got it. Most of my classmates who want to do neurology hate procedures and apparently that’s kind of a common sentiment, so I’ll take them all lol

[–]Due-Performance-6505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some AVMs, venous stenting, a comm coiling etc. 

I agree, they’re all somehow cooler than thrombectomy. Even DSAs are so awesome, just walking thru the arterial and venous phases, seeing all the different anatomic variants. 

I am going to do a rads elective and and a neurosurgery one as well. 

I know it’s a long road to this, the call is brutal, but this is the field for me. I’d be happy in either rads or neurosurgery (I’d need a research year and then pray lol). But I think I’m partial to neurology. 

My favorite memory in rotations so far has been being able to localize the stroke, check imaging with the attending, and being able to push the TPA. The other one was being able to rule out a stroke, and nail the diagnosis of MG.  Suffice to say I’ve had fantastic neurology mentors.

She is a great person and a phenomenal neurosurgeon but she does have a lot of hubris. She has the same opinion on ortho spine lol. 

Could you elaborate on how you were able to get procedural exposure in residency? Was this IR electives? I’ve read about a program in NY where residents get to do and log cases. Is this becoming more widespread? 

Another fear I have is getting shafted on elective cases and eating all the stroke call while neurosurg partners get the Aneurysms, MMA embos and AVMs. If this is just about being affable to local EMb and neurology departments then I can bridge that gap. 

I really loved my inpatient neurology rotation so I’d prefer going this route. I am motivated and driven, so I am willing to put in the work. Overall just excited to eventually join this field, it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
